20) The Fury (1978)

Brian De Palma’s post-Carrie telekinesis film is far from the great achievement its predecessor was, but it is nonetheless pulpy good fun that delivers one of the most literally explosive climaxes in horror history. Be prepared for some very, very ’70s moments, including the sight of an orange-colored Kirk Douglas in short-shorts on a beach, firing a machine gun. Amy Irving’s giant eyes have never been put to better use.

I have not seen all of these but I am not really sure about any list that includes The Relic and The Fury, both honestly not very good, in any top 25 of horror movies (unless now Netflix only has 25 horror movies and in any case Dead Snow and Event Horizon are far better than those two).

“Pontypool” absolutely surpasses the wondrous beauty of the ‘slow burn’ and falls asshole deep into the undesirable realm of talky, boring bullshit. There should’ve have been anywhere near that much talk in a horror movie.

You’re not wrong. The movie is a little slow and a little talky. I think they tried to channel one good aspect of a zombie apocalypse which is how would people react but it sorta fell apart at the end. Is it good? Yes. Is it one of the top on Netflix? No. Do I answer my own questions Barry? Yes.

I can’t speak too much on the Hellraiser movies, but I can fully stand behind Clive Barker’s book and all of his early stuff through The Great and Secret Show. he has great stuff after that too, but his early run was nearly perfect.

Good list. I didn’t enjoy Occulus or The Babadook for some reason. Well, I figured out the Babadook pretty early on, so that made it kind of boring. No excuse for Occulus, though.
Check out The Shrine on Netflix. That’s a good one.
